I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.
I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Animal of the Day!
Caribbean Monk Seal (Neomonachus tropicalis)
(Photo from the New York Aquarium)
Extinction Date- 2008
Habitat- Caribbean Sea; Gulf of Mexico; West Atlantic ocean
Size (Weight/Length)- 250 kg; 2.3 m
Diet- Crustaceans; Fish; Squid
Cool Facts- Caribbean monk seals were an extremely social species of seal. Also called the sea wolf, these seals lived in colonies of up to 100 individuals and organized their group based on age. The pups would gather together in large groups, lazing in the sun, while their parents went out to hunt. Unfortunately, Caribbean monk seals were extremely chill and lacked any fear of humans. Early colonists saw the seals as an easy food source and thousands were killed for their meat and fat that was used as oil in lamps. The second blow came when the fish and squid the seals relied on were majorly overfished. The endangered Hawaiian and Mediterranean monk seals are threatened by the same threats the Caribbean monk seal faced, but luckily strict protections are limiting poaching attempts and vaccination against disease is aiding in the conservation efforts.
Rating- 13/10 (Last seen in 1952 but not declared extinct until half a century later.)
